The Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church in Brooklyn held a unique event called Project Safe Surrender on Saturday, where dozens of people with C-Summons and warrants had the opportunity to see a judge and get their minor offenses forgiven.

Throughout the morning and afternoon, participants saw the judge and mostly got their offenses forgiven.

“I had forgotten about it,” said one man who was pardoned after getting in trouble for having an open container of alcohol. “But it’s a good thing I got a letter in the mail saying I could come up here and get it taken care of quickly. I don’t have to worry about repercussions.”

The event started at 9 a.m. Saturday and ended at 3 p.m.
